Conclusion? Well, test drive both and decide....
As stated clearly on my sig, if you are the tak apa person that don't mind on the tak apa attitude when having problems with your car soon-to-get, Proton will be great.
But if you mind on after sales service, any brand other than Proton can do....
To choose between 2, in terms of features, Forte will be better choice... Now is Ipad, iPhone connection, Proton still using a 10 year old concept....
If short distance driving and once a blue moon long journey travel, lower cc engines will be better, as they can help on reducing your wallet's burden....

I think the sig of a troll does not have much credibility lor. 10 years old concept? LOL. True for people still driving 10 years old rusty Wira. 

Eone: Electronic gadgets are cool and great. But when it breaks, your wallet flys. Personally i think even the Inspira have too many unnessarry stuff like rain detector, auto air cond...(whatever the hell is that, haven't read manual yet!). The only really useful gadget is the auto-cruise, coz this will helps you rest your legs on long journey.

im still driving it~~~

err i'm driving forte 1.6 sx 6 speed dun feel underpowered at all...if u want fast off the grid like f1 use the paddle shifters....really make a difference there.
